Ship Ahoy

Missed the second part of Treasure Island with Eddie Izzard.  Only just found out that with virgin media they don't do catch up on any Sky programmes - that was a lesson to learn!!  Oh, well, I'm sure it will come on again some time in the near future.  Good actor is Eddie as well as a supreme comedian. Have seen him a few times now, but the best was a couple of years ago in a theatre, third row back - catching all his little mannerisms - so, so much better than Wembley when he was the size of a 'borrower'.  Ship theme - ah, yes.  This is for a friend, the third card of the new year.
The following pictures are of a lovely ship that my dad made a few years ago. He has fingers like short fat little bananas, but he produced some intricate pieces of work, one of which I have.

  1. What a talent your Dad has, and patience! Did you manage to watch the Christmas prog he was in, all about a boy called Goose? It was him in a past life. Cant for the life of me remember what it was called, it was fantastic :)
